Running the SS with AWD and AUTO trans is a somewhat leisurely experience. I had the radio on and actually looked over (around the 1000 ft mark) and watched the guy in the yellow Nova RIP into forth and walk by me. That guy put his whole body into it - nice! I think he ran a 14.6 The Nova was a blast - but the last 2 times I saw smoke (white) in my rear view I cracked a ring landing and the other time I popped a head gasket. You can always tell as soon as you go up the return road. But the Nova was fine and felt great and it actually felt better going in the trailer than the last time we loaded it. I don't understand what could cause that? And I don't know if the smoke was just a puff because I got out of it as soon as I saw it in the mirror.

It may have come when you let out of it which is understandable...all those years of driving it on and off a trailer,it needed a good beating and probably idles like a kitten now!

Like we were talking about in the lobby, that car's been idling around for 4 years and needs some good runs on it!! I have found that the R43's foul easily on the street, and so I put R45's in until I'm ready to race - then it's back to the R43's. That's why the local chevy dealer made a parts run to the Holiday Inn parking lot on Thurs, brought me a new set of R43's. The more that orange deuce gets driven, the more fun it will be because you will be able to fine tune it a little better each time. Check the timing, and run good gas

I was not the yellow car racing the SS, must have been Jerry. I think I was done and tired by then, and just wanted to go take a shower to cool off.

Could be any number of things, most of which are non-fatal. More than likely just loaded up from lack of "use"...something to consider is a plug change. Not necessarily the heat range (not a bad idea), but a "brand" change. Mo and I played around with spark plugs while on the dyno, and while AC's may look good, there are better choices...go Autolite, or even better NGK. It could also be how your engine is put together. Our car will "fog" on decelleration in the traps...too much oil in the top end of the engine. But, it puts out 400+ horsepower at the wheels, so I can deal with it...

I wouldn't sweat the smoke...it more than likely did the car some good to FINALLY stretch it's legs!

Mark, remember when I bought the 1969 GTO Judge (40k), and you (and your DAD) were giving me your expert tutelage on "POWER SHIFTING". When I got home, remember how bad the engine smoked, found out later I cracked the #7, oil ring, on top of, god knows how many valves were sticking. I had a ton of "blow by", exiting from the vent tube. The Judge had sat for so long, and then I buy it and go out and run the crap out of it. Probably a "No, No"!! (We did have a lot of fun blowing away Hondas-HA, HA!)
Anyway, should make sure the "Motion", is good and ready for next year. Take off the rev.limiter and let it go to about 7 grand. This could be the "Motion" that makes good on Mr. Rosen's promise of "Mid 11's".

I remember the shifting 101 class you got... but who did we "blow away"? Was it one of the usual fart can warriors or Jay/Cory and those guys???
